I'd be surprised if the fight didn't do well, not that it's a worthwhile fight but because it's a spectacle and a lot of people just want to watch it because of what it is. Floyd probably should done better hyping the fight though :lolQuote:

Probably, most people are expecting Connor to disqualify himself with a kick or something if it goes past 4Quote:

Floyd Sr. said they're going to go for the KO, but money has brittle hands and I don't think he can pull it off anymore. He might wear him down and cause a tko thoughQuote:

Would you bet against an NBA team if they faced an NFL team in basketball?Quote:

It's a pretty good analogy. NFL players don't know how to play basketball, so would you bet against the professional basketball team? :lolQuote:

If you asked me could the most athletic NFL player be an NBA all-star that'd be closer to a fitting analogy. As it is MMA is boxing on steroids.Quote:

Brah, I don't plan on watching your nine min vid. Plus, I don't know how showcasing two established boxers fighting is supposed to be an adequate analogy.
Tbh, it's exactly what somebody like you would enjoy. No troll :tuQuote:

They are vastly different sports. You obviously need a more complete skillset in MMA than boxing. Jon Jones would murder any boxer in a street fight tbh.
Edit: I just saw that the dumb ass Spurtacular thinks McGregor is gonna win. What a fucking idiot. :lol. McGregors sparring partners beat the piss out of him, yet you think he is gonna beat the greatest defensive boxer of all time? Hell Nate Diaz would beat him in a boxing match.
Splain.Quote:

Maybe the technical advantage would be enough against most MMA fighters for Floyd. But the punching game is actually CM's forte, so that argument only holds so much water for me.Quote:

The "greatest defensive fighter of all-time" is now 40. Taking fights against past prime guys like Pac dude is how he has managed to stay undefeated when he has been due for a loss for years. Sorry but eight years past prime; no real fighter should be scared of that.Quote:
